I really like how easy it's to use, even for complex workflows. The variety of operators makes it possible to handle almost any task, which saves a lot of time. The cost-to-benefit ratio is excellent, especially considering how much effort it reduces in managing pipelines. The UI is intuitive, scaling is straightforward, and the integration with Airflow gives me confidence in its reliability. It also helps the team collaborate better by making workflows transparent and easy to monitor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Documentation can sometimes feel a bit fragmented, and deeper troubleshooting guidance would be helpful. Some advanced features require extra setup or technical knowledge, which can slow down new users. Pricing can also scale up quickly for larger teams or heavy usage, so better cost visibility would be a plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Getting everything set up and running was a smooth process, thanks in part to the abundance of tutorials available for guidance. Whenever I needed assistance, the customer support team responded promptly and provided valuable help. Features can also be considered quite complete for a scheduling tool. It has also lots of integration with different types of cloud vendors, databases, and third parties. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think stability can be improved further. At times, we experience a small short performance issues, for example Astro API endpoints that went down. I also feel like the support can provide a bit more insights into our environment/deployment setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the UI improvements and the ability to access run statistics. Although I haven't had the opportunity to develop directly on Astro, the integration between GitHub and Astro provides me with all the information I need to carry out my responsibilities as a product support engineer.

The start time vs run time can be a little misleading. I don't have many complaints about Astro, it functions well, and does what it needs to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use it on a daily basis to manage Airflow environments efficiently. It simplifies Airflow orchestration with an intuitive interface and easy deployment. It’s well-documented, stable, and saves time when managing environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some advanced configurations require manual steps or deeper platform knowledge. The pricing can be high for small teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Astro by Astronomer makes managing Airflow effortless — it’s reliable, scalable, and saves time by handling infrastructure, monitoring, and upgrades for you. It also improves developer productivity with built-in observability, integrations, and streamlined CI/CD. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be a bit costly, offers limited customization compared to self-hosted Airflow, and has a learning curve for new users. Some features are still maturing and can feel less flexible at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how Astronomer is a great tool that gives me a lot of time back with helping with data orchestration and seamless processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes I wish that Astronomer would be more intuitive and less memory intensive. Especially with starting up local instances. And better documentation for when things go awry. Also sometimes with deployments I wish that the support team was more useful with helping debug. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The greatest strength of Astro by Astronomer is that it provides a fully managed, enterprise-grade DataOps platform built on top of Apache Airflow, effectively removing the painful burden of infrastructure management from data teams. This allows engineers to focus entirely on building data pipelines that drive business value, rather than on maintenance, scaling, or troubleshooting the orchestration system itself.

While Astro is a robust platform, it does present some notable drawbacks. Cost is the most frequently cited concern, as the service is considered expensive with a pricing model that lacks transparency, especially when compared to self-hosted solutions. For new users, the tool has a steep learning curve, requiring extra time for adaptation and training. Technically, there are reports of problematic dependencies (particularly with Google services) that lead to time-consuming maintenance, along with occasional bugs and breaking changes that affect system stability. Furthermore, some users feel that the data lineage functionality needs improvement to be more valid and easier to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Astronomer offers a nice managed Airflow service. A few things that I like:

I appreciate the user interface, as well as how easy it is to use and to identify both failures and successes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The integration of the Airflow UI leaves room for improvement. I feel it could be more seamless and user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Monitoring made easy by having Slack integrations. DAG status can be easily tracked with Slack alerts.

Triggering the DAGs with configs enables multiple functions to be done in the same DAG by passing required params. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
